Thomas was a shy and introvert boy. He was scared of talking to anyone. He had hardly any friends, and never went out to play. His parents and grandfather always encouraged him to make friends and play with them. But Thomas was too frightened to do it. One day, Thomas’s grandfather gave him a box and said, “These are magic pills. They will give you confidence and will make you brave.” So, whenever he felt nervous, Thomas would have one and immediately he felt much braver. He soon became a friendly and popular boy. One day, the pills were finished. Thomas went back to his grandfather and asked for some more. Grandfather told him, “Those pills were just your favourite candy. They just helped you feel courageous and confident. The real magic is inside you.” Thomas was surprised that he managed to make new friends without any magic. So he thanked his grandfather for his help.
